LEAGUE ONE
SCUNTHORPE 1 OXFORD 1
SCUNTHORPE manager Graham Alexander was left with mixed emotions after seeing his side set a new club record of 22 home games without defeat.
Winger Duane Holmes had headed them into a 35th-minute lead from a Josh Morris cross.
But spirited Oxford hit back strongly in the second half after a 47th-minute equaliser from defender Phil Edwards.
Alexander said: ‘It’s nice for them to have broken the club record.
‘But looking at the overall picture, there are bigger things for us to try to win this season.’
WALSALL 0 SOUTHEND 0
PHIL BROWN felt his Southend side were denied two blatant penalties as they were held to a goalless draw at Walsall. The manager said: ‘I don’t know why referees aren’t giving them.’
WIMBLEDON 2 FLEETWOOD 2
CONOR McLAUGHLIN snatched a point at the death for Fleetwood. The visitors took an early lead through Cian Bolger, but the hosts battled back through Tom Elliott and Dean Parrett’s penalty before McLaughlin struck late on.
SWINDON 1 BRADFORD 0
LUKE WILLIAMS was left thrilled with Swindon’s performance, as Anton Rodgers’ 30-yard freekick earned the home side the points. Coach Williams beamed: ‘It is such a wonderful feeling.’
BURY 2 MILLWALL 3
AIDEN O’BRIEN’S winner saw off 10-man Bury. James Vaughan’s double put the hosts in control. Bury’s Niall Maher was then dismissed for conceding a penalty, which Shaun Williams converted before Callum Butcher equalised.
SHREWSBURY 0 PORT VALE 0
PAUL HURST praised the attitude of his Shrewsbury side after they collected a point at home to Port Vale. ‘I think there was plenty of endeavour, just lacking in quality,’ he said.
CHARLTON 1 SHEFF UTD 1
CHRIS WILDER questioned his United side’s ruthlessness after Charlton snatched a last-gasp draw. Mark Duffy gave the visitors the lead before Patrick Bauer’s equalised late on. ‘We should have killed it off,’ fumed Wilder.
CHESTERFIELD 3 BRISTOL R 2
JAY O’SHEA scored twice and Ian Evatt also netted as Chesterfield came from behind to win. Their boss Danny Wilson said: ‘We didn’t buckle.’ Peter Hartley had given visitors the lead, while Billy Bodin scored a late consolation.
NORTHAMPTON 0 BOLTON 1
ZAC CLOUGH’S seventh goal of the season was enough to hand Northampton a fourth straight defeat at Sixfields. Losing manager Rob Page said: ‘It’s not quite dropping for us at the moment around the box.’
COVENTRY 1 MK DONS 2
ED UPSON’S brace helped MK Dons to a win over 10-man Coventry. Ben Stevenson had equalised for the hosts before being sent off. Coventry’s frustrated interim manager Mark Venus said: ‘We huffed and puffed.’
GILLINGHAM 3 ROCHDALE 0
FRANK NOUBLE, Jay Emmanuel-Thomas and Mark Byrne wrapped up the points for Gillingham, leaving boss Justin Edinburgh satisfied. ‘It was the perfect end to a scrappy performance,’ he said.
